Practice, Performance, and Tracking Headphones with 20dB of Noise Reduction

Vic Firth SIH2 Stereo Isolation Headphones offer the full-range feedback and hearing protection you need to perform at the top of your game, night after night. These stylish drummer-centric cans are new and improved for v2, with upgraded 50mm drivers and a more comfortable headband for a richer, more immersive listening experience. The 20 decibels of passive noise reduction protect your ears against harmful sound levels. And an integrated cable with an 1/8" stereo plug and an included 1/4" adapter keep the SIH2s performance ready wherever you take them. We at Sweetwater really like the v2’s new gray carbon fiber finish — a small but welcome upgrade for live drummers and studio owners.

Practice and perform in style

Vic Firth SIH2 Stereo Isolation Headphones are perfect for practice yet equipped for all performance applications. If you’ve ever tried in-ears and found them wanting, drummers at Sweetwater invite you to put these stylish isolation headphones to the test.

Not just for drummers

Ever stare down the barrel of dimed amp stack in the studio? Vic Firth SIH2 headphones make it easier and safer to find that microphone sweet spot. This goes for snare drums, horns, and loud vocalists, too.

New and improved for v2

Musicians at Sweetwater swear by our Vic Firth Stereo Isolation Headphones. And with version 2, there’s even more to love. Here’s what’s new:

  • Even better passive noise reduction (20dB)
  • Bigger bass and more lifelike sound, courtesy of upgraded 50mm drivers
  • Longer-lasting comfort, thanks to a redesigned headband
  • Stylish gray carbon fiber finish

Reduces sound levels by 20dB

Tinnitus and hearing loss are among the biggest dangers facing working drummers. A drum kit in a small room can exceed 120dB — beyond the range of OSHA-approved noise exposure for any amount of time. Vic Firth SIH2s reduce sound levels by 20dB. For that same drum kit, this takes exposure levels from dangerous to a safe, sustainable four hours a day. For a stage drum kit, you’re looking at upwards of eight hours a day.

Full-range 50mm drivers

Last-gen Vic Firth Stereo Isolation Headphones were great for monitoring. Vic Firth SIH2s exhibit a musical, full-range response that’s even more enjoyable to listen to. Upgraded 50mm drivers give the SIH2s deeper bass, punchier mids, and cleaner, more present highs.

More comfortable headband

Also new for v2 is a more comfortable headband to keep you in the moment. This feature really pays off for those all-day tracking sessions and long sets onstage.

Vic Firth SIH2 Stereo Isolation Headphones Features:

  • Isolation headphones with 20dB of passive noise deduction
  • Protect your ears during practice or performance
  • Designed for drummers, suited for all musicians
  • Equipped for the stage and studio
  • Stylish gray carbon fiber finish
  • 50mm drivers yield bigger bass, fuller mids, and cleaner, more present highs
  • Redesigned headband offers even greater comfort
  • Snug fit — stays on your head as you perform
  • Integrated cable with 1/8" stereo plug and 1/4" adapter

Love these!!!!

I love these on my e-drums. I use these for monitor headphones in live situations too. Not top of the line but work great and comfortable to wear. Blocks out outside noise pretty well too which is what I like. These work for studio or live. Affordable and well worth the $$. I had used other brand of isolation headphones but they did bot perform like these do. I love them!!!

HP

They sound awesome. My only thing that I would pass along is, they are not made for a big head like me. They are quite tight fitting on a large head.

Solid Isolation!

This my second pair. My first pair finally gave way after 8 years. Decent longevity given the studio abuse that I have given them. I have hearing problems and require effective sound isolation and decible levels. I mic my drum kit and computer through the mixer and these phones both isolate the kit itself and any outside sources. Effective hearing protection as well. No sore ears or problems with my hearing condition. Newer model fits even better and is very comfortable. At this price point, its a winner. Great service, as always, from Derek and Sweetwater. Fast shipping! Thanks!!!

Best thing I’ve ever bought for drumming

Bought these about 2 or so years ago, they work absolutely amazing, they sound amazing, they're comfy, i used to have kinda bad technique when i was younger and actually smacked them somehow accidentally but they held up just fine! A while ago i dropped them on the ground and it broke but i glued it back together and it works perfectly still! Never gonna stop using them and if they do break i will be more than willing to buy more!
